You and I were brothers,

Or sisters, if you like.

            We satisfied each other

            Until one blackest night,

            Whereupon you choked me

            As I slept beside you:

            I did not flinch an inch,

As you were sleeping, too.

            You killed me and I let you,

            To show how much I loved you,

            To rid you of the sorrow

            My beauty once put by you;

            And now that you remember

            The night before the murder,

            Look at me again

            And decide what I am worth.
